...so I could be out of there by 12:00 noon.

You aren't staying overnight? I guess since I am going to that I assumed everyone did. I hope you have someone to stay w/ you that night!

I'm not expected to stay the night either, not unless they have to do it open or I'm running a fever. Do most people stay?

Interesting; I don't know!

My doctor said that most of her patients go home the first day unless like Ara said you are running a fever or had to go to the open surgery. I think it depends on your surgeon if you stay over night or not.

SickNTired, thank you, yes I have someone to stay with me at night, either at the hospital or at home, my DH. He has been very supportive thru all of this. Today I am on my pre-op liquid diet and he stopped and got something to eat before he got home.

Tomorrow is my BIG day and I am ready.

I'm second and have to show up at 6:30 a.m. need to also get up early enough for a shower with a special wash they gave me. LOL I'm a bit cranky right now as my sugar has dropped because of the lack of food, I tried the beef stock and it was horrible so I can see I'll have to be making my own. So I've had 3 popsicles and, water, hot tea and two lovely oz of Milk of Magnesia *LOL* I think the MOM filled me up the most!

Yummmmm, MOM! I am so jealous! So what kind of "special wash" are you to use?

Hey everyone, Good luck to all the Oct. banders. I had mine done yesterday, went in about 1:00 and was on my way home by 5:00pm. I am doing well, still a little sore, I'm keeping full liquids down. I was only on a pre-op diet for 2 days (clear liquids). I had my surgery at Cabell Huntington Hospital in Huntington, WV by Dr. Nease, he is a wonderful surgeon. I have to stay on full liquids until my return office visit on Oct. 10. I haven't felt hungry yet, I haven't had the bad gas pains that I've heard so much about (at least I haven't had them yet). I wish you all good luck with the surgery and a speedy recovery to all.

Dixie:thumbup:

Congrats, Dixie! I'm glad everything went well. :tongue:

Good luck to everyone tomorrow! :tongue:
